Craigiehall, Category A listed country house in Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The three-story Craigiehall House features a rusticated basement and central projecting bays topped with a pediment displaying heraldic elements.

William Bruce designed this residence in 1699 for William Johnston, the Second Earl of Annandale, incorporating classical Georgian architectural principles.

The interior contains a white marble fireplace in the Blue Room, decorated with a 17th-century painting depicting Edinburgh's landscape.

Located 9 kilometers west of central Edinburgh, the property housed the British Army's Scottish Command Headquarters until 2015.

The estate includes an 18th-century grotto with two levels, featuring a fireplace on the upper level and constructed entirely from rough rocks.
